Defense Industry Well Represented on Trump Transition Team
WASHINGTON – Former executives from Boeing, Elbit and Cubic will help guide the Pentagon transition team for president-elect Donald Trump, alongside several retired Army officials
The transition team makeup was announced Friday morning on the Trump team’s GreatAgain.gov website. The list leans heavily on retired officers, primarily from the Army, but also features strong reorientation from industry.
Earlier in the year, Trump made a series of comments that had some in DC wondering if a president Trump would look to slow down the military-industrial complex.
"I hear stories, like they're ordering missiles they don't want because of politics, because of special interests," Trump said in February, according to a report from the Washington Examiner. "Because the company that makes the missiles is a contributor."
